Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction
Watched this last night, there were plenty of low buck bikes, some still in crates, some original patina and of course the fully restored. From Mini Bike to full on customs.

Top seller

1939 Crocker Big Tank, at $704,000 it stole the show as a one off Crocker, it's a cool bike, there were others in the mid 6 figures as well, pictures at the link.

Repaired Link

For the sport bike guys, plenty of cool racing bikes, from Honda, Ducati, and many others from the 30's on several small manufacturing companies in euorpe to the flat tracker Indians and HD bikes.

A bit for everyone and Motorcyles and Guns go together, FN built bikes back post WW2, BSA Made Guns, 1952 FN Single
among others.

Years ago, you used to be able to go to the Auburn Ind. auction and get a really great old bike for low bucks. I just never had a good place to store one until later and then the great deals were over.

if you sign up you can see the prices paid there were quite a few low priced machines going through, lots of 70's and 80's bikes for lower money, I saw a few below a grand.

The bike above and others came out of collections, some of the bikes were owned by Steve McQueen.

Loved the RC30 but probably lusted over the GSXR-750 limited edition more.

I can’t believe somebody paid $3500 for a Buell Blast!

My grail bike. Although I loved the limited edition, I've always lusted after one of these. Extremely hard to find in this condition...

I had a 86 GSXR-1100 that I put almost 70k miles on running up and down the canyons of SoCal. It was my only transportation for several years. When the Limited editions came out I came
Close to trading my 1100 in. I just couldn’t have a single seat Mc.
